Install Coolstack

Download the x86 version of Coolstack

bunzip2 [package.pkg.bz2]

For example: bunzip2 CSKmysql_sparc.pkg.bz2

pkgadd -d [package.pkg]

This process will install the package in /opt/coolstack, along with all dependent libraries.

Document root is located at: /opt/coolstack/apache2/htdocs

Solaris zone has several instances of apache and apache2 preinstalled. These may be running and will prevent
the coolstack apache from running. Disable all other apaches

Kill the currently running apache services.

# ps –ef | grep apache2

Kill <number> corresponding to apache process given above or do apache stop but since the httpd.conf file is
not configured this gives an error so use kill instead.

Next ensure preinstalled apaches do not start up.

# cd /etc/rc3.d

Rename the following:

S50apache, S50cswapache and  S50cswapache2 to OFF-S50apache, OFF-S50cswapache and  OFF-

S50cswapache2 .

This stops these apache services from restarting on boot up.

Configure CoolStack Apache

Edit /opt/coolstack/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

ServerName ims-arcs-zone:80

Add index.php directory index

<IfModule dir_module>

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

</IfModule>

Start apache

#/opt/coolstack/apache2/bin/apachectl start

 
Configure Mysql
 

Add /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/bin /bin to your path, and /opt/coolstack/mysql/man to your manpath.

#export PATH=/opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/bin:$PATH

Install the db and mysql user:

# /opt/coolstack/mysql/bin/mysql_install_db

# groupadd mysql

# useradd -c "MySQL Server" -g mysql mysql

Change ownership

# chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit

 # cp /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/share/mysql/my-large.cnf /etc/my.cnf

Edit my.cnf if necessary. Consider uncomment skip-networking to prevent network access to the database.

Start up the server:

# su – mysql  (this line may not be necessary)

$ /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/bin/mysqld_safe &

$ ps -ef | grep mysql | grep –v grep  <– Make sure the mysqld process is running

$ /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ‘yourrootpassword’

$ /opt/coolstack/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h ‘yourhostname’ password ‘yourrootpassword’

Install Extra PHP Libraries.

Dowbload load from here: Packages CSKtds, CSKncurses, CSKphplibs, English

The above PHP libraries contain the useful GD graphics library for PHP. We’ll need that for the Drupal CMS
which I will post next week.. Download the x86 version of Coolstack

#bunzip2 [package.pkg.bz2]

For example: bunzip2 CSKmysql_sparc.pkg.bz2

#tar -xvf ./CSKphplibsBundle_x86.tar

#pkgadd -d ./CSKphplibs_x86.pkg

Edit #/opt/coolstack/php5/lib/php.ini

Add the following line.

extension="gd.so"
  

Restart Apache

#/opt/coolstack/apache2/bin/apachectl start
